- Traffic Diversion: Motorists from Ijora Olopa heading to Apapa and Costain will be diverted 50 meters before the work zone into a contraflow with Costain-bound traffic and will rejoin the carriageway after 500 meters.
According to the media statement signed by Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, “during this period, motorists from Apapa heading to Costain/Lagos Island/Ijora Olopa will have through traffic, but on approaching the work zone on Marine Bridge, they will be diverted to form a contraflow with Costain-bound traffic for approximately 500m and will regain full access to the carriageway after the work area to continue their journeys.
ADVISORY:
The statement advised “motorists to be patient, as the closure is part of the traffic management plan for maintenance works on the underlying bearings of some sections of the Marine Bridge by the Federal Ministry of Works (Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos)”.
